A Senate discussion on defence underscored critical gaps in officers and men, outdated artillery, and transport limits. The piece notes warnings from General Huton on Asia-Pacific power shifts, calls out manpower shortages at key forts, and critiques budget cuts as risking Commonwealth security. The debate emphasizes that merely spending on a defence ministry and staff does not guarantee true national protection.
